'What does that mean, Aunt Petunia was adopted, Huh? Does that mean the blood wards would have no effect' his eyes widen and he noticed there was a plus and minus symbol on every attribute but minus button was greyed out, he sighed not 'it would be harder to gain attributes later on, so it's good to save attribute point to use them later when it was hard to gain them' he taught and touched the screen on the side, it too disappeared then another notification appeared

He noticed there was date and time and 4 bars appeared at left bottom Red HP bar, Green SP bar, Blue MP bar and Yellow Exp bar, 'huh, they have all house colours' he thought to close the notification before he can touch it disappeared

'Wait, can I access those screens just by thinking' he thought for a moment, then he gave it a try, it worked his stats screen appeared again, with a thought he closed the screen again, he thought 'Menu' another screen appeared with options

ERROR}

Harry blinked 'What the hell is all this, Metamorphmagus, so this is how I am able to grow my hair back when aunt petunia gave me a buzz cut in my primary school huh, but it says I need to level up to improve it' Harry thought, he closed his eyes and concentrated then he managed to change his messy hair to somewhat manageable then there was a red error with a ping, he opened his eyes and there was a screen saying

{Blood line curse activated: Potter Messy hair, bloodline curse cursed by Phineas Potter, triggered by Charles Potter}

His hair shifted to its messy nature, 'Bloody hell, damn you ancestors why the hell do you not build the safe for the other Potters, damn you Phineas Potter to hell...' it went on like that for 10 minutes

He sighed, and closed all the screens, he let out another sigh and thought 'Skillset'

"Why was all the score soo low?" surprisingly that answer got answered

{Because you were slacking in your studies with [Ronald Weasley], ignoring the advice to study from [Hermione Granger]}

He was shocked, "uh can you reply to me" he asked but nothing happened, he sighed and closed the screen and thought 'Inventory' Infront of him another screen appeared, this screen was separated into 2 parts

on right side there was grid boxes most of the were empty, at the bottom there was 3 icons indicating Gold, Silver and Bronze and his leftover gold from last year he stored in his trunk, he looked at the amount he had at hand '12 Gold, 17 Silver, and 5 Knuts' it showed, he looked at the left side,

on the left there was his image with his current attire and there were several empty boxes near his hand's legs and head, when touched the box near his right hand there was a notification

{Do you wish to equip your Wand

Yes/No}

He selected 'yes', his wand he noticed that was on right side of the grid disappeared and appeared on the box next to his right hand, he noticed his right hand glowed then another screen appeared

{Magical signature hidden from Underage Magic deduction, Notification of under-age magic disabled}

'oh god, does that mean I can use magic now' he thought, he looked at his familiar Hedwig who was still locked in her cage, he managed to share his meager rations Dursleys provided with Hedwig but it was clearly not enough, but because he became a gamer he was not feeling that hungry, if he could free her, she could go for hunt, he thought and approached the bird cage and hesitated, he placed his pointer finger on the lock and whispered 'Alohamora' the lock on the bird cage was unlocked

Hedwig hopped out of the cage "sorry for locking you like that girl, now go for a hunt and go to Hogwarts and wait for me there, I think Hagrid can take care of you there" Harry said, Hedwig hooted and nipped his finger affectionately and flew away, he also noticed that there are no ministry owls with Underage warning letters like last year, he grinned and closed all screens, then he thought 'Quests'

There was currency mentioned on top left corner he saw 7585 Gold, 22 Silver, 5 Knuts,

He scrolled up and down he remembered that his hair had something called blood-line curse he thought if he uses the bloodline removal potion it would remove that curse, he bought 2 (Bloodline Curse removal Potion) to be safe, and drank 1 potion another screen appeared

{you were trying to remove Bloodline Curse:

Potter Messy hair bloodline curse

Do you wish to continue

Yes-No}

"yes" Harry said without hesitation, in the next moment he felt the pain all over his body, he felt like every nerve ending were drenched in lava, he felt that his blood and DNA was being rewritten, after almost 30 minutes pain left him and he can feel his hair felt soft and silky and felt more settled,

He sighed and closed the screen there was nothing more he want to buy at the moment, he thought 'Pause' he noticed everything around was greyed out he can move as he wish but he was unable to move anything while paused he stayed like that for many and concentrated on the time and waited to see how much long it would take to resume without his input, he laid on the bed and slept to recover from the phantom pains, he lost track of time and when he woke up it was still Paused, then he thought 'Resume' he was dragged back to the position where he used the Pause option, he felt it was like a roller coaster

Then he thought 'Save' then a screen with several boxes appeared, first box was named 'Auto Save' when selected the time stamp, he noticed it was the time he woke up, 'so every time I woke up it will automatically save' and other boxes were empty for now he closed the screen

he opened the 'Settings' it was like a typical settings window, there was options to reduce and increase the sound, increase or decrease the brightness and there was also option to remove the sense of taste, and remove sense of smell as well, also he can modify his nervous system like he can increase or decrease the pain receptors or he can remove all pain receptors to remove all pain, at first he wanted to do that but, it would be weird not to feel pain, and decided against it

'If I had this option when I need to drink that (Skella Grow) it would have been like a god sent' he thought and closed the screen, then another screen appeared
